Finally Began Filming (production blog)

                    Sonali and I started officially filming on March 25 during spring break. While filming we changed many things. Firstly, we changed which park we went to. Instead of the park we originally planned on going to we ended up going to a park called Holiday Park. We chose this park because it was closer and convenient for both of us. When we went to the park two police officers were there. We informed them that we were filming for a class project just to be careful. They said it was perfectly fine to film. Then, we asked could we possibly have them or their car in our film to make the kidnapping seem more realistic. Sadly, the police officers declined so we didn’t film anything with them. It was so hot that day of filming. We were all sweating and tried to only take one video for each scene. However, at least two scenes took three different takes to come out correctly. We all ended up taking turns to film but it wasn’t enough people. Sonali and I decided to ask our friend Starr to help film and she even played the part of a bystander in one of the scenes. We changed the scene that consist of the kidnapper shoving the little girl in his car to something more easier. That scene shows the kidnapper shoving his victim in his trunk instead of inside the car.We only got to film at one setting which was the park because that setting is the only one that needs to consist of both Sonali and I. We spent almost two hours filming because we were so prepared we barely made any mistakes filming. The only part Sonali and I struggled with was staying serious while filming. This was the only reason why we had to film certain scenes again.

Research : How to make a short film

Image
        This informational video helped opened my eyes to more knowledge on how to produce our own film. While watching I noticed I already knew somethings like when they were talking about the creation of films. However, "How to make a short film" video gave a lot of new tips that will help me in the production of our short film journey. The production tips and post production tips in this video were given by a expert in film. One tip that caught my attention is when the expert mentions to not do it if you can’t pull it off. Another tip is that it is key to mess with the audience's mind and emotions. The expert explains that it is either all or nothing and to not do something half or partially. This kind of reminds me of this expression, " Go big or go home". This expression implies it's all or nothing which is why the film expert explanation reminded me of it.  Adding unnecessary things to a scene because it looks like a cool element to your fi...

Comparing Le Jetree, the short, and 12 monkeys, the full length movie

Image
 PART ONE- So from the video we learned the 12 monkeys is supposed to be a remake of Le Jetee. However, nothing could ever be recreated the way Le Jetee was. We believe the elements of mis-en scene camera shots and angles were expressed in le jetee that weren't quite the same in 12 monkeys. The information that We gather from this video included the a dispassionate tone carried in Le jette from the film narrator. It added an accentuation in the audio to the rest of the film and images. The exaggerated audio such as percussion sounds and a pounding heartbeat. These tools created a more dreamlike film with the genre being a sci-fi filled film this plot included a mediation of the passage of time. They did this by using closeup shot to exaggerate images and characters faces and emotions expressed throughout the film helped create the dreamlike idea that was portrayed. It gave an outlook on war times before during and after of a war through the life of a man ( a slave) that could trave...
